A must-read for all psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and academics working in related fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn psychoanalysis, misogyny hides in plain sight, seemingly above and beyond the usual conventions of workplace etiquette or even a vague awareness of sexism. It is commonplace in psychoanalytic literature and in the presentation of case studies for a description of the female client’s attractiveness to be given as a diagnosis rather than an opinion, for the word ‘feminine’ to be used as a synonym for submission, for psychosexual development to still miss the glaringly important stage of menstruation, for women to still be described in terms of losing a penis but gaining a baby – not a vagina or clitoris – and for the fundamental experiences of pregnancy and birth to be overlooked. Ironically for a field that’s main currency is reflection, the different treatment of women is bypassed as misogyny is institutionalised in psychoanalysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book reflects the author’s experience in the world of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy as a trainee, supervisee, student, teacher, psychotherapist and supervisor in various institutions, and as a former CEO of a psychotherapy training organisation. It is a collection of five essays inviting you to join an inclusive conversation about why psychoanalysis is the way it is and, through a case study, experience the impact this misogyny has on the treatment of women. \u003cem\u003eMisogyny in Psychoanalysis\u003c\/em\u003e highlights what’s at risk for the practice of psychoanalysis \/ psychotherapy and, most importantly, for those seeking help when institutionalised misogyny goes by unchallenged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40057945849953,"sku":"9781912691395","price":20.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_35245057.jpg?v=1752169159","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781912691395-misogyny-in-psychoanalysis","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
